Notification center suddenly stop working

My iphone notification center suddenly stop working, it happen twice already. I tried pull down the bar and it doesnt happen.
Restart is one way fixed but is there any reason why it happen?

Okay so spent time with Apple support here are the findings:
-Mail has to be opened for notifications center to work
-If a sender was reported as spam notification won't pull-up even if you change the rules to avoid that(ongoing investigation with Apple)
-Twitter notifications will only work with people you follow so if someone that doesn't follow you sends you a tweet won't pop-up. This goes against the purpose of Twitter where you want to know who tag you in their tweets... Hopefully Apple can fix this behavior.

Why does my "Click to tweet" button in Notification Center suddenly stop working sometimes?

I like to compose tweets from the notification center in Mountain Lion, but recently whenever I click the button nothing happens. I tried unconnecting and then reconnecting my Twitter account and that doesn't work. When I restart my computer, it works for a while and then stops working again. Is this a bug?

I know the ans...first install os x mountain lion again above all your installation..then see the build it should be.. (12c60) then..update every thing..but dont install or update..."update for macbook pro and macbook air 2.0 "it is the culprit ...then hide that update..and remember to install offline version of combo and supplement update 10.8.2..ok..as sometimes when ur notification cetre not work then installoffline "combo and supp" updates...ok..REMEMBER NOT TO INSTALL MACBOOK AIR AND MACBOOK PRO 2.0 UPDATE...PLZ...AND USE UR SYSTEM...!! follow me https://www.twitter.com/ankit8083 https://www.facebook.com/ankit8083...good luck..DONT CHANGE UR BUILD..AS IF U WILL CHANGE IT THEN UR SHARE BUTTON WILL NOT WORK..IN NEW BUILD..!!And wait for apple to get new build after april 2013...but not download macbook pro and macbook air 2.0 update..which help in graphical improvements and some usb devices...!!

I just brought my MacPro in for service and they replaced my hard drive. However, now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working! Is there anything I can do to fix this without having to take it back in for service, again!?

The nearest service center is 2 hours from my house and my computer isn't under warranty anymore, so I need alternative options. I'm just frustrated that my disc drive was totally fine until AFTER I took it in for service. I just paid a lot of money for a new hard drive from the apple store and now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working correctly. I tried with multiple CD's and DVD's...loading a disc, but my computer would just make a weird loading noise and then eject the discs. Now it has started fighting taking the disc, so I have stopped trying. Is there anyway to fix this problem without taking it in for service again and paying another boat load of money?
Thanks in advance for your help!

ShelbyMackenzieLynne,
when you say that your disc drive is damaged, do you mean your MacBook Pro’s hard disk drive, or do you mean its SuperDrive (the CD/DVD drive)?
When you’d updated your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, did the installation succeed, and subsequently freeze up? Or did it freeze up during the Mavericks installation?
Which version of OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Mavericks?
Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition? To see if you can do so, hold down a Command key and the R key while starting up your MacBook Pro.

My airport express suddenly stopped working.

I have had an airport express unit that I purchased new from Apple about a year ago. The warranty is now expired and it has suddenly stopped working. It shined its amber light for more than an hour, and when I unplugged it to see if it would work somewhere else, it flashed its amber light and then went blank. It will now display no lights at all when it is plugged in, and my computer can not detect it, so it is obviously dead. Has anybody had any experience with this issue? I tried a hard reset (back when the amber light still worked, yesterday), but I do not know if it worked since the unit would not stay on for more than a few seconds (now not at all).
Other specifications: It has been used pretty much non-stop since its purchase a year ago as an extender for my Time Capsule's network. It served its purpose, although it seemed to lose connection fairly often. Nothing it didn't fix on its own though.
Well, that's my rant. Thanks in advance!

Unless you want to carefully saw open the case along the center seam with a fine toothed hacksaw or similar tool to open up the AirPort Express and look for something obvious....like a connector that has come loose or broken wire, it is time to replace the AirPort Express.
Your chances of success are very small if you want to try the repair route, so do this for the fun of it more than hoping that it will work.
Even if repairs were possible, a regular shop would likely charge you more than the cost of a new Express.

The sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

the sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

Do you get sound on any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not others ? If you do then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Sounds suddenly stop working

Certain sounds on my iPhone (text alerts, text sent sound, etc) will suddenly stop working. I will get notification of an incoming text with a sound all day long and then out of the blue there will be no sound to accompany the alerts anymore. When I send a text, I always hear a sound when it sends the text...but just like the alerts, the sound for that will suddenly quit too.
Yes, I've checked the loud/silent switch. I've checked the volume. The only thing that seems to fix this issue is powering off and back on.
I don't use headphones (I've seen this can sometimes cause the silent mode to get stuck) so that isn't the problem. I thought maybe it had something to do with the bluetooth connection in my car but the sound will quit sometimes when the bluetooth is off and I'm nowhere near my car.
I had this issue with my iPhone 4s and just put up with it until I got the new iPhone 6, figuring I wouldn't have the issue anymore with a new phone. My iPhone 6 is still doing this so I'm guessing there is some crazy, hidden setting somewhere I'm not aware of, or there is something wonky in the iOS.
This is incredibly frustrating as I have not known about an urgent message because the phone didn't make any alert sound to let me know I received a message.

Was wondering if you had found a solution for this? I went to the Genius Bar 3 seperate times to get this exact issue resolved. First they reset my phone as a new phone, then they replaced my speaker, and finally they replaced my phone. Still, with a brand new phone, it is happening. I have iphones for a long time and do not believe I am doing anything differently. Have you found something that worked for you? Thanks!

MacbookPro (Late 2013) FaceTime/iMessage suddenly stopped working "FaceTime Failed"

My laptop suddenly stopped working

my laptop suddenly stopped working and when i restart it the power button lights up but the screen doesn't on. and also the capslock is on and another light ons on the keybord with a symbol of all four arrow keys(its not a key) i really am having trouble with it. if anybody can help me please..

Unplug the AC adaptor, remove the battery, press and hold the power on button for a minimum of 30 seconds, then replace the battery and see if it powers up. If not, repeat the above but this time only plug the AC adaptor in and see if it works. If that doesn't help, repeat the above and this replace the battery and plug the AC back in. If that doesn't take care of it you should remove the memory sticks reseat them, them try again. If you have two sticks try with only one at a time to see if that helps. If not, try removing the hard drive and boot to a Linux Live CD or some self booting diagnostic cd to see if the hard drive is the problem. If none of the above helps you'll need to take it to an authorized service center if it's still under warranty, or to any repair shop if it isn't.

That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
A stale or corrupt kernel cache
A damaged OS X installation
A fault in a peripheral device, if any
Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
An obscure bug in OS X
You may already have ruled out some of these.
Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model. Memory that is either slower or faster than specified may be incompatible.
The Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

It seems when i do something simple as typing text, it'll stop working and give me a "Adobe Photoshop suddenly stop working". My CS4 32bit version seems to working fine with whatever i'm working on. I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate on a new computer Intel quad core with 4gig of ram if that helps. Sorry if this have been asked before but i couldn't find anything on these forums. Thanks in advance.

i deleted the prefs file and now i can open photoshop. but it seems as if it crashes if i open ANY file with ANY text, no matter what the font is.

my usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

My Sat L300 suddenly stopped working the other day.
It kept freezing to start with, then nothing at all. So, I kill-disked the HDD and tried to re-install Windows (XP).
During the install it threw up a message that some internal components had been incorrectly installed and needed to be reinstalled.
I was told to remove the memory cards and re-seat them.
That did not work. I thought that perhaps the HDD was damaged, so I fitted a new one, and started to reinstall Windows.
Once again, same message. One of my colleagues at work suggested that the Motherboard was probably U/S.
So I have been trawling the .net to find a replacement. Laptop out of warranty! I am told that some other serial numbered motherboards will work with this laptop. Don't really want to get a motherboard only to find its never going to work! My unit has an SPS number of: V000138330.
I am being offered one with an SPS of: V000138390.
Any ideas? Will this one work?
And if it does, will it give me the functionality that I used to enjoy?!
Sorry for the long sob story.
Any advice gratefully accepted.

Hello Andy
Sorry but can you tell us more about your notebook? which model do you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
Do you have European model?
Has your notebook valid warranty?
Maybe I have misunderstood something but why you want to exchange mainboard if the warranty is probably still valid?

Continuous Error Message: Dell Support Center Has Stopped Working

I have Windows V8ista on an Inspiron530s. Through out any operation I continue to get the following massage:
"Dell Support Center Has Stopped Working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." For several weeks I have tried to find the reason for getting the error message. It will appear in a little box several times an hour during any operation. (internet or document) I can find no answers in any forum. I have an HP all-in one printer that I uninstalled & reinstalled the software for at the suggestion of another, but that did not solve the problem.
AT THE SAME TIME: I have Trend Micro Internet Security,(aka PC-Cillion) and though the firewall & defenses are up, I can not get it to scan the computer for virusus. I have talked with Trend Mico Tech Support 4 times on the phone and various adjustments have been made, but thhas been no fix. They seem to think the problem is connected to this error message. I am at wits end. Can someone help?? :?/

Ivy,
You never did tell us what version of Windows you're using. If it's XP, look in Windows Scheduled Tasks. If Dell Support Center is listed there, delete it.
Are you really sure you removed Support Center in Add/Remove Programs control panel?
According to Alexandra, one of the forum VIPs:
"The newest DSC 3.0 makes things complicated becomes it comes in 2 parts. There's a 1+MB program called aulauncher.exe that apparently checks for compatibility, plus any current/old versions to be overwritten or uninstalled. Only if the PC passes the aulauncher "test" do you get the full 40+MB DSC install program. That's possibly the reason for "you already have the latest version". Aulauncher also adds a "run once" key to the registry. If the aulauncher doesn't get it right, you're stuck in a loop."
And see if there's anything helpful here, though the links in Dell-Telson's post might be out of date.

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub
